declare Feb 1-7 Hasselhoff Avatar week

I’ll resurrect last year’s Disney-related Hoffatar, since I’m only weeks away from my next Disney trip.

I just ran across this:

Doctors have always used a tribal vocabulary to communicate between themselves, but now their secret lingo is been enriched by the electronic media and urban slang.

Paul Keeley, a consultant in the department of palliative medicine at Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland wrote to the weekly British Medical Journal a sample of new words that British doctors use among themselves.

They include:

Hasselhoff: Term for any patient who shows up in the emergency room with an injury for which there is a bizarre explanation. Source: Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff, who hit his head on a chandelier while shaving. The broken glass severed four tendons and and an artery in his right arm.

So I guess 43people.com isn’t the only place where “Hasselhoff” is being used with a brand new meaning! I hadn’t heard the shaving story before…

One of the cars they used as KITT is for sale. Maybe we could all pool our funds! Heh.

Worth it but only for the sake of humor.

Now, back to normal!

...I’m going to use. Since I’m in a Disney mood, this is the Hoff at a press event for the opening of the Tower of Terror at California Adventure.

But I’m not going to put it up until Feb. 1!!!

I’m reopening this goal.

David Hasselhoff told Elle magazine:

“My oldest daughter is dating an older boy, so I said to her, ‘You’re only 16. There’s plenty of time to have sex and fall in love.’ To him, I said, ‘If you hurt my daughter in any way, I will take you outside and I will cut your thing off. I will have no problem spending the rest of my life in prison.’”

If you can’t get enough of David Hasselhoff you are in luck. David has launched his own clothing line after coming to the realization he’s “as popular as Elvis”. Hasselhoff insists he’s constantly hounded by fans, who even sport signature T-shirt ‘Don’t Hassel The Hoff’. Now he wants to cash in on the fashion trend with his own surfing line under the label Malibu Dave. He says, “It’s just going to be super cool, laid back surfing gear. Everywhere I go, there are all these guys, like 400 guys, wearing the ‘Don’t Hassel The Hoff’ shirt. “There are guys who turn up dressed like me. It’s a bit weird. I’m like Elvis, only alive.”

...until the week is over! But I’m hanging in there for Holly’s sake!

...how easily I give into peer pressure.
